ok i pretty much just need soem feedback here. where i wokr you are not allowed to send mail through a server side script. which i really do not approve. so here the deal. i am doin a section of their intranet over. on one section is a contact form (flash obviously). now i can send the info from the form to outlook and the user can send from there. but i really don’t want to do it like that. now i can also write to a textfile, but then the page admin has to constantly check the txt file. what shoudl i do?  
any one have better suggestions?
